How To Create A Seamless And Stylish Wedding Day Aesthetic
The aesthetic or style of a wedding could set the tone for the entire day. Guests and bridal couples could build excitement, create romantic feelings, or leave a warm appreciation for the special day by choosing the perfect atmosphere.
With one of the most significant expenses being the venue, according to Statista, choosing it to suit the wedding’s overall look is essential. A mismatch between the décor, venue style, and other factors could ruin the look and feel the couple wants for their wedding or leave them with regrets.
However, there are ways of creating a seamless and stylish wedding day aesthetic, and below are some of the focus points to consider:
1. Avoid unnaturally inserting trends
Social media and magazines may set today’s trends, but this doesn’t mean one has to follow every trend to have a stylish wedding. The same goes for wedding traditions, as each culture has its own unique way of celebrating the big day. Create a mood board of the overall feel of your wedding, and go in that direction with the traditions you decide to do.
One cherished wedding tradition is for the bride to wear a veil which could be good for your chosen theme as you pick veil styles to complement your big day. Short veils fit well in contemporary aesthetics, while cathedral veils exude the elegance fit for traditional and glamorous themes.
Couples can abandon wedding traditions if they do not fit into their desired theme. Leaving them behind could make the wedding seamless and stylish rather than making these practices feel out of place. Instead, if the bride and groom want to add them in, they may have to consider the rest of their aesthetic to ensure that everything works well together.
2. Represent the personality of the couple
Before deciding on the wedding day décor, venue, or outfits, the couple could discuss what they both envision for this day. The ladies especially may have dreamt of this day from early childhood, and not having the wedding aesthetic they had in mind could make the day feel less remarkable.
Compromise is one attribute of a marriage that many couples struggle with, and planning the perfect wedding day could be practice for future situations they may need to navigate. After all, the day is about both, meaning both personalities must represent that day. What better way to do this than having a combined, authentic wedding theme that’s pleasing to both?
3. Start planning way ahead of time
To seamlessly execute your chosen mood and style, you must plan way in advance. Without proper planning, some items on the checklist may fall by the wayside, causing a watered-down look that may disappoint.
A well-thought-through plan will keep everything moving smoothly on the day after the couple reviewed it for possible hindrances or inconsistencies in the aesthetic they hoped to create. Planning way ahead will give everyone enough time to get the wedding decorations, outfits, venue, and everything else in order, so no one has a stressful day.
4. Keep the experience in mind
The wedding aesthetic is about more than only looks. It involves the entire experience for the couple and the guests. Deciding on the perfect style should thus include consideration for the way it will function on the day, especially to make everything seamless.
Stylish shouldn’t equate to uncomfortable, and unfortunately, there are brides and grooms only realizing this too late when they insist on having specific items as part of their outfit or décor for the day.
Couples have taken to the popular social media platform TikTok to express their regrets for some of the decisions they made for the sake of their wedding mood board, and others may learn from watching their experiences.
5. Do research on various styles
While planning the wedding day, couples should consider various wedding styles to see which suits them best. To form a vision of what they want for their day, they may need to research each aesthetic to see what it will entail.
Reading books, searching for ideas online, or consulting wedding shops or planners could give them the nudge in the right direction while they are still deciding. Make sure to mention the venue style, what colours you prefer, and the season of the year your wedding will be held. These can also factor into the theme and pull everything together for a seamless and stylish outcome.
6. Consider customizing or DIY
Depending on the style the couple chooses, there may be some items they won’t find in a store or that wedding stores won’t stock. In these cases, the couple should consider customizing available items to fit the style by adding colours, beads, feathers, flowers or other things.
Another necessary customization for a seamless and stylish wedding would be to prepare a playlist beforehand. The genre of music should reflect the style and personality of the bride and groom.
7. Set up a specific budget
It may be hard to fathom that a budget could be part of wedding styling. However, having one will ensure no reckless spending on unnecessary items. Last-minute stress shopping may throw off the entire look and feel, not to mention putting the bride and groom under undue financial pressure.
According to Investopedia, a couple setting up a wedding budget should consider where the wedding will take place, how many guests they need to prepare for, the traditions they want to incorporate, the region in which the couple lives, and how much time they have to plan and save for the wedding. Knowing precisely what to pay for and by when the bills are due may contribute to a seamless day that prevents overspending on items the couple wouldn’t need.
Tying it all together
Wedding days are unique in every way, especially when couples choose the aesthetic that suits their personalities, traditions, and pockets. Along with all the considerations for the day, proper planning will tie everything together to leave the bride and groom with a seamless, stylish wedding day they will remember for the rest of their lives.
